Being dubbed the next Justin Bieber apparently won’t snag you a driver’s license. Just ask Austin Mahone.

The 17-year-old pop singer, who recently earned MTV’s “Artist to Watch” award at this year’s VMAs, seemed all to excited Wednesday morning before heading off to the DMV to take his driving test. “Taking me drivers test today!! wish me luck,” he tweeted.

However, thirty minutes later Mahone tweeted that he hadn’t achieved his rite of passage: “I failed,” he tweeted. “She told me to stop singing in the car.” Well, third time’s a charm. The singer apparently took the test again the same day and failed. “I’m so mad,’ he tweeted.

Maybe he should think about getting a few lessons from Ariel Winter. Couldn’t hurt.
